Emperor Leviathan inside containment... How will it work?

If The Emperor Leviathan will be as massive as shown in concept art, size comparisons, and most hype we have seen then how will it fit in containment without going through walls and generally bugging out? If its as big as its hyped to be then I would think it should follow a path. The path would have several variations to make it look like it was actually swimming around freely. The Emperor on path would have its own turning animations to accommodate the space its given. Shure it would take longer to implement but on the upside we wouldn't have its tentacles going through the walls (and swimming by and aquarium window would make an epic introduction for the player). I have never worked on game development but I think there would be more upsides than downsides If the Emperor had a varying path that it followed around containment.

    The Emperor Leviathan will probably not move much at all. Too depressed. Sitting there in the prison for a thousand years. With no visitors. :'(

    The emperor will swim around in set path, it won't be able to swim freely.

    Hmm, they could even add random branches (forkroads) on that path as well and give him instructions to do a barrelroll :D

    It won't swim on a set path, but it won't have completely random AI either.

    Queen, to be and empress that would mean to own an empire.
    An empire is defined as "an extensive group of states or countries ruled over by a single monarch, an oligarchy, or a sovereign state." and i dont see any proof of owning property.
